Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Bored with expecting Google Music ? How tired? In the event you’ve been pushed for your wit’s end, and also you’re willing to provide RealNetworks one last chance to truly impress you, Sprint’s got a brand new service to be able to dip your toes into. Sprint Music Plus is a newfangled app which might be accessed via the carrier’s website and on Android / BlackBerry handsets, serving as a “single, convenient destination for purchasers to find, purchase and play individual and bundled offers of full track music, albums, ringtones and ringback tones.” Naturally, everything in this is DRM-free, and other than being a hub for transactions, it doubles as a media management tool where playlists will be created and new content might be recommended in accordance with prior purchases. We’re told that buyers can receive a reduction if angling for a bundle — which incorporates a full track, ringtone and ringback tone — with $0.69 to $1.29 (per tune, mind you) being thrown straight for your Sprint bill. Care to present it a spin? Android users can head just past the break for a QR code, while everyone else may give those source links a success.
